I am posting a group buy hitman to take out james and jarrod and any other people who get to drive cars I can't afford to breathe on... who is with me?... I reckon if we get enough people we might be able to get chopper to do it for us... ready for the blow torch and pliers guys? :O:)

i nearly crashed the other day; due to laughing so hard.. this is what i saw....

was driving along stud rd about 3pm the other day, driving along, went over ferntree gully road and kept crusing.. about 50 metres up the road, near a little pesdestrian bridge, i seen some kids moving around.. looked as if they were fighting.. i got closer, but to my amazement, it was something completey different...

these kids were about 12 years old, and shuffling!! they were normal kids, one black, the other two white, in normal clothes.. shuffling! shit you not, they were dancing with each other, getting close and jiggy with it.. i laughed so damn hard.. they were trying to do the running man :) hahahahaha :laugh:

Mclaren F1.... Dammmmm

1) Glad he enjoys it and makes use of it

and

2) What drugs do I need to sell / grow / make to be able to afford a garage like that :P

lol, thats an odd supercar spotting.....

haha.. excatly what I was thinking! :whistling:

Anyway, back on topic... I stole this from another forum, but I though I'd share it with you guys cos its like... interesting and stuff. It's about that McLaren F1 that was mentioned before:

This car is believed to be chassis #009, and is reportedly owned by Tony Raftis (who is/was the owner of Prancing Horse Racing i've heard). Its former owner was believed to be Dean Wills, former CEO of Coca Cola Amatil. Yes, #009 was the F1 was that crashed by a BMW Service tech in Sydney. The car was sent to Stowe Smash Repair before being flown back to Woking in the UK. It was repaired and returned to Dean, and is now probably owned by Tony Raftis. And it certainly is street registerable...

There are rumors that there is a White F1 in Australia, but it's never been seen or photographed or had its ownership determined. There were only 2 White factory F1's built and 1 has been spotted in Japan. The other remains unknown.

The actual numbers built were 7 Prototypes, 64 road cars, 28 GTR's (some of which have now been road registered), 5 LM's, 2 GT's and 1 spare car owned by McLaren Cars. A total of 107. There's probably less than 100 still in existence after the official crash test, and "unplanned" crash tests.

Here's some more pics as well:

I saw this guy at the carwash on thursday, is it a red Bently Arnarge that he owns? The carwash guys informed me that he owns a mclaren F1.

Im told by people that there is only the 1 in aus, and by others that there is 2 or 3...

there was 2 or 3 F1s in aus, but i have no idea about now. My friends father was one of the guys who serviced them in sydney back in the mid 90s. I once got a little ride around the block in one, but I wish I had been nicer to the guy as his father took him and 1 friend on a big drive to deliver it somewhere. sadly I wasn't that 1 friend...

Spotted a Mercedes CLS63 AMG parked in brisbane tonight. For a $255,000 car, it looks positively pedestrian. Sure you get 378kw, and 0-100 in 4.5 sec, but it comes with undersized and average looking 18inch wheels!

I'd rather spend that kind of money on a V8 Vantage if I was after a luxury GT!

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
